Shenlan Acidifier: Supporting Better Gut Health and Digestive Performance in Poultry
Release time:
2026-09-28
Maintaining a healthy digestive system is essential for successful poultry production. The digestive tract is not only responsible for nutrient digestion and absorption, but also plays an important role in maintaining microbial balance and supporting the overall health of birds.
When poultry experience changes in feed, environmental stress, poor water quality or other production challenges, digestive function and intestinal microbial balance may be disturbed. This can affect feed utilization, growth performance and flock uniformity.
Shenlan Acidifier is a liquid poultry acidifier and vitamin premix developed to support digestive health and improve the nutritional environment of poultry production.
A Combination of Organic Acids and Essential B Vitamins
Shenlan Acidifier contains a combination of malic acid, citric acid and lactic acid, together with vitamin B1 (thiamine nitrate) and vitamin B12 (cyanocobalamin).
The combination is designed to provide multiple nutritional and functional benefits:
- Help regulate gastrointestinal pH
- Support digestive enzyme activity
- Promote efficient digestion and nutrient utilization
- Help maintain a favorable intestinal microbial environment
- Support waterline hygiene when used according to the recommended procedure
- Provide supplementary vitamins B1 and B12
- Support appetite and normal digestive function
Organic acids are widely studied in poultry nutrition because they can influence gastrointestinal pH and microbial populations. Research has reported that organic-acid supplementation may support digestive capacity, intestinal health and microbial balance, although results can vary according to the specific acids, dosage, delivery route and health status of the birds.
Why Gut Health Matters in Poultry Production
A well-functioning digestive tract allows poultry to make better use of nutrients from feed and maintain a stable intestinal environment.
The upper gastrointestinal tract, including the crop, proventriculus and gizzard, is particularly important for digestion. Organic acids can help lower gastrointestinal pH and may contribute to improved nutrient utilization and control of certain undesirable microorganisms.
Recent research has also investigated the use of acidifier products through drinking water. In a 2024 broiler study, drinking-water supplementation with acidifier products affected gastrointestinal pH and digestive enzyme activity, while some treatments were associated with lower levels of E. coli and Salmonella in excreta.
These findings support the growing interest in water-delivered nutritional supplements as part of modern poultry gut-health management.
Supporting Water and Gut Management Together
Water is one of the most important nutrients for poultry. Birds consume substantial quantities of water every day, making drinking water an effective route for delivering certain nutritional supplements.
A recent review highlighted drinking water as an increasingly important delivery route for additives intended to support poultry gut health, particularly during challenging production periods.
Shenlan Acidifier is designed for drinking-water application, making it convenient for farms seeking to integrate acidification and vitamin supplementation into their routine flock-management programs.
Recommended Application
According to the product information provided:
Drinking Water Application
Dilute Shenlan Acidifier at a ratio of 1:1,000.
For example:
1 L of Shenlan Acidifier + 1,000 L of drinking water
The recommended application period is 6–8 hours, once every three days.
Waterline Cleaning
For centralized waterline cleaning, dilute the product at approximately 1:200, introduce the solution into the drinking-water system and allow it to remain in the system for 6–8 hours before following the farm's normal flushing and sanitation procedures.
The actual application program should be adjusted according to farm conditions, water quality, bird age, production stage and professional technical guidance.
Available Packaging
Shenlan Acidifier is available in:
- 1 L bottle
- 5 L container
The product is suitable for poultry farms looking for a convenient liquid solution for routine drinking-water management.
An Integrated Approach to Poultry Gut Health
Good poultry gut health cannot be achieved through a single product alone. Effective management should combine:
- High-quality feed
- Clean and safe drinking water
- Appropriate stocking density
- Good environmental management
- Biosecurity and sanitation
- Proper vaccination programs
- Stress management
- Effective nutritional support
Shenlan Acidifier can be incorporated into this integrated management approach as a nutritional and acidification support product, helping poultry producers maintain a favorable digestive environment and support efficient nutrient utilization.
Conclusion
Shenlan Acidifier combines organic acids with vitamins B1 and B12 in a convenient liquid formulation for poultry drinking-water application.
By supporting gastrointestinal pH management, digestive function, microbial balance and vitamin supplementation, it provides a practical nutritional tool for modern poultry production.
For farms seeking to strengthen routine gut-health management and optimize the utilization of drinking-water supplementation, Shenlan Acidifier offers a convenient and versatile solution.
